12 bottle thanks to Crajun. Amazing aroma of deep dark malt, coffee, cocoa and dark chocolate. Flavor is equally dark and filled with many wonderful accents. I taste sweet chocolate, espresso beans, black licorice, and a mild bitter hop finish. Well put together stout!

Had this on Nitro at St. Augustine’s. Not entirely impressive. Pours jet black with carpet head and lacing. Creamy texture. Aroma has roast malt and a twang of hops. Finishes very light - with only a nutty bitterness and some sourness. Aroma has coffee as well.

On tap at St Augustine’s on The Drive in Vancouver. Full black with tan head. Overfilled glass allows little nose. Rich chocolate and coffee overtones on the palate. Rich and satisfying. Medium body, oily texture and soft carbonation.

An all-time favorite. A smooth beer and easy to drink. Classic. Dark with a delightfully rich aftertaste.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle from trade with crajun. Pours pitch black with a 1 finger head that fades normally, leaves some lacing. Aroma is dark roasted malt, burnt coffee, dark chocolate, and a little smoke. Taste is intense but still very easy to drink. Lots of burnt coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Smooth finish with lots of roast and a little smoke. Thin to medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Really good stout here. Intense and goes down smooth but would be hard to drink more than one in a sitting.
